Progression
Rarities
The five-tier rarity ladder (Common → Mythic) plus Creator collectibles, and how rarity is encoded by color, glow, and motion.
Rarity is ANIMINT's visual language. Every collectible sits on a five-tier ladder, with Creator collectibles forming a distinct premium class above the tiers.
| Tier | Feel | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Common | The backbone of every collection | Frequent expedition finds |
| Rare | A welcome step up | Expeditions, forging |
| Epic | Genuinely exciting | Better gear + Relay rare bonus |
| Legendary | Holographic, prestigious | Rare finds, high-tier forging |
| Mythic | The top of the ladder | The rarest finds and forges |
| Creator | Community-made, animated | Made by Animint Pro creators |
Rarity is three layers, never just color
- ▸Frame & border color identify the tier at a glance.
- ▸Glow intensity scales with rarity on hover and reveal.
- ▸Reveal motion gets richer the rarer the piece — Mythic and Creator get the biggest payoff.
Creator collectibles always carry a Creator badge and a distinct gold, animated frame so they never blend in with official art.
